Principal Gavan Minz shared his enthusiasm about the morning, highlighting its importance in building strong relationships with future students and their families.

“It’s a brilliant morning where families can tour the school, meet staff and students, explore our Prep classrooms, and enjoy activities designed especially for young children,” Principal Minz said in the video above.

The Prep Open Morning will showcase the school’s strong community spirit, with opportunities for visitors to see how older students welcome and interact with younger peers. St Mary’s, a proud part of the Laidley community since 1912, continues to focus on fostering connections not only with families but also with local organisations, feeder kindergartens, and high schools.

Mr Minz emphasised St Mary’s commitment to providing a values-based, high-quality education built on evidence-based teaching practices, without gimmicks.

“Our focus is on excellent, explicit learning and teaching every day, supported by extracurricular programs in technology, the arts, and sport,” Principal Minz explained.

The school’s strong sporting program is another point of difference, offering students opportunities to participate in rugby league, rugby union, AFL, cricket, netball, athletics, and running at an inter-school level.

“Sport and PE are important parts of students’ holistic development, helping them learn teamwork and resilience,” Principal Minz added.

Families interested in attending the Prep Open Morning are encouraged to register now.
